Winter tyres

For notes on fitting new tyres, see page 164.

See pag e 2 25 fo r restrictio ns.

Winter tyres (M+S tyres) improve safety and

should theref ore be fitted on all wheels.

The design of summer tyres means they have

limited qualities for winter driving.

If the maximum permissible speed for the

winter t yres is le ss than that of the vehicle, a

notice indicating the maximum permissible

speed for the tyres must be affixed within the

driver's field of vision

When using spare wheel with summer tyres:

Driving behaviour may differ. Replace

defective tyre as quickly as possible, balance

wh eel and fit to vehicle.
